sway bar

[murph_1989]

I was looking on eBay at sway bars for my VZ ute.

Problem is...

What do they do?

Where do they go?

Can i do it myself?

if your vehicle is a steet car dont bother, its not worth it, all it does is try to stop the car from rolling(like wobbling not actually rolling the car) by linking the front struts together via link pins, its supported to the car by rubber bushes bolted to the k frame,


when you turn or the car is going over lumpy surfaces on different sides, the link on one strut either pull or pushes on the link, the link then transfers this movement to the sway bar which trys and pushes the other strut, to which it dosnt, the sway bar then twists and constantly trys to pull the car back to its normal suspended height,


if it costs the same as what im thinking your better of buying a few slabs of bundy instead, it'll make you feel better than any aftermarket sway bar

The Whiteline sway bar on my VT was worth every penny.

murph , do you get a lot of body roll .... if so then this is an option. Thinkabout some decent springs n shocks too.
you can install yourself with a few spanners and maybe a jack or 2.

It all depends on how hard you like to corner. But your probs better off getting better suspension and then sway bars front and rear. Then you will notice a fare bit of difference. But really no real point in getting them if you just drive around normally

not having a shot but Im curious, what makes you look for a specific part if your not even sure what it is, how it works, or where it goes?
